Abstract

The article presents a comparative veterinary and sanitary assessment of various preparative forms of rodenticidal baits for the control of synanthropic (mouse-like) rodents. The rodenticidal activity of deratization agents in the form of loose grain bait, paper bags, mineral and gelatin capsules were studied in laboratory conditions. New knowledge about the bait consumption by grey rats depending on their shape has been obtained. The variety of forms of rodenticides makes it possible to select the formulations of baits taking into account production features, natural and climatic characteristics and the availability of food resources at livestock facilities, as well as increase the attractiveness of the bait, prevent pollution of environmental objects with anticoagulant poisons and exclude possible poisoning of non-target animal species.
